          Yankees Owner George Steinbrenner writes an Op-Ed in
     the N.Y. DAILY NEWS under the header "How To Keep the Yanks
     in New York."  Steinbrenner: "[T]here exists an unusual
     degree of negativism among some politicians, the news media
     and others to put roadblocks in the way of my desire to keep
     the Yankees in New York City. ... If no other city was
     interested in attracting the Yankees, maybe this would make
     some sense.  But all of this occurs as New Jersey beckons.
     ... I plead with New York: Don't force us to do what we
     don't want to do" (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 7/14)....Maple Leafs
     officials said that "only about four" of the 40 "platinum
     lounges" remain available for lease at the Air Canada
     Centre.  Each runs between C$320,000-350,000.  While
     speculation has companies that had owned boxes at the
     SkyDome for the Raptors and at Maple Leaf Gardens for the
     Leafs, "combining their expenses," Leafs VP/Business
     Development Brian Cooper said, "We have found companies team
     up with other companies but, a little surprisingly, more and
     more companies are saying they want to go at it alone"
     (TORONTO STAR, 7/14).
